    Abstract Mobile food-ordering apps are here to stay in the foodservice industry and their popularity is only expected to grow in the coming years. Given this knowledge some college campus dining operations have started to develop their own mobile food-ordering applications. Thus, the current study sought to assess how various aspects of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and its extensions influence students’ adoption intentions. The study also assessed the moderating effects of productivity orientation and fear of missing out (FoMO) two behavioral constructs that can have an influence on college students’ overall behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

    Abstract Abstract Background and Aims Literature regarding alternative tubing for fluid delivery in irrigation and debridement procedures is lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare three different apparatuses with varying quantities of irrigation fluid to assess efficiency of administration and evaluate overall time for fluid administration. Methods This model was designed to compare available methods of gravity irrigation used in practice. Fluid flow time was measured for three types of tubing: single‐lumen cystoscopy tubing, Y‐type double‐lumen cystoscopy tubing, and nonconductive suction tubing. Irrigation times were assessed for varying volumes of 3, 6, and 9 L to investigate the relationship between bag changes and irrigation time. Bag changes were not conducted for the 3 L trial, but were for 6 and 9 L trials. Dimensions of cystoscopy tubing consisted of 4.95 mm internal diameter and 2.1 m length in both single‐lumen and Y‐type double‐lumen apparatus. Nonconduction suction tubing dimensions were 6.0 mm internal diameter and standard 3.7 m in length. Results The mean flow time for suction tubing was significantly faster than the cystoscopy tubing for the 3 and 9 L trials (p < 0.001). At 6 L, flow time for the suction tubing and the double lumen cystoscopy tubing were similar, 264 versus 260 s, respectively. At 9 L, the mean flow time for the suction tubing was 80 s faster (410 vs. 491 s) compared with single‐lumen cystoscopy and was nearly 30 s faster compared with Y‐type cystoscopy tubing. Conclusion The results of this study provide insight into a faster, widely available, and cost‐efficient alternative to commonly used cystoscopy tubing.

    Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this systematic review is to highlight some of the business model changes restaurants, bars and beverage producers undertook to modify their operations in order to not only stay in business but also to better serve their employees and communities during the COVID-19 crisis. Design/methodology/approach – An analysis was conducted on 200 industry articles and categorized into three major themes: expansion of take-out/delivery, innovative practices, and community outreach/corporate support, each are further subdivided into additional themes. The systematic review is further supported by personal interviews with industry professionals. Findings – This research finds that there were many different approaches used in adjusting business models in response to the dining restrictions put in place due to COVID-19. From these approaches, themes were developed which resulted in uncovering some suggestions such as developing contingency plans, being flexible and creative, eliminating menu items, investing in a communication platform and getting involved with local government. In addition, some practices operators should be mindful of such as selling gift cards and starting a crowdfund. Research limitations/implications – This research provides a systematic analysis of business model changes that occurred due to COVID-19 dining restrictions. Researchers can use this information as a guide for further analysis on a specific theme introduced herein. Practical implications – This research offers several practical implications which will assist the industry should another similar event occur in the future. The systematic analysis describes and documents some suggestions as well as practices to be mindful of in preparing contingency plans for the future. Originality/value – This research documents an unprecedented time for the hospitality industry by examining how restaurant, bar and beverage producers around the country responded to COVID-19 restrictions. Distilling the multitude of information into ...

    Abstract Tobacco thrips (Frankliniella fusca) and tomato spotted wilt (TSW) orthotospovirus (family Tospoviridae, genus Orthotospovirus) can reduce peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield. Systemic insecticides are applied in the seed furrow at planting and to peanut foliage to reduce injury from tobacco thrips and decrease incidence of TSW. Research was conducted in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia in 2013 and 2014 to compare the effect of the following treatments on tobacco thrips feeding injury and expression of TSW in peanut: thiamethoxam seed treatment, thiamethoxam seed treatment followed by acephate 3 weeks after planting, phorate applied in the seed furrow at planting, and a nontreated check. Tobacco thrips feeding injury and TSW incidence were significantly higher in thiamethoxam and thiamethoxam followed by acephate‐treated peanut than peanut treated with phorate. Thiamethoxan seed treatment followed by acephate resulted in significantly lower tobacco thrips feeding injury compared to thiamethoxam seed treatment alone. Yield of Virginia market type cultivars was greater when thiamethoxam was followed by acephate applied to peanut foliage or when phorate was applied compared with nontreated peanut or the seed treatment alone. Runner market type cultivars yielded higher when phorate was applied compared with nontreated peanut while peanut treated with thiamethoxam with or with acephate yielded similar to both of these treatments.

    Abstract KEY MESSAGE: A novel soybean cell culture was developed, establishing a reliable and rapid promoter assay to enable high-throughput automated screening in soybean protoplasts relevant to shoot tissues in whole plants. Transient reporter gene assays can be valuable to rapidly estimate expression characteristics of heterologous promoters. The challenge for maximizing the value of such screens is to combine relevant cells or tissues with methods that can be scaled for high-throughput screening, especially for crop—rather than model species. We developed a robust and novel soybean cell suspension culture derived from leaf-derived callus for protoplast production: a platform for promoter screening. The protoplasts were transfected with promoter–reporter constructs, of which were chosen and validated against known promoter expression profiles from tissue-derived protoplasts (leaves, stems, and immature cotyledons) and gene expression data from plants. The cell culture reliably produced 2.82 ± 0.94 × 108 protoplasts/g fresh culture mass with a transfection efficiency of 31.06 ± 7.69% at 48 h post-incubation. The promoter–reporter gene DNA expression levels of transfected cell culture-derived protoplasts were most similar to that of leaf- and stem-derived protoplasts (correlation coefficient of 0.99 and 0.96, respectively) harboring the same constructs. Cell culture expression was also significantly correlated to endogenous promoter-gene expression in leaf tissues as measured by qRT-PCR (correlation coefficient of 0.80). Using the manual protocols that produced these results, we performed early stage experiments to automate protoplast transformation on a robotic system. After optimizing the protocol, we achieved up to 29% transformation efficiency using our robotic system. We conclude that the soybean cell culture-to-protoplast transformation screen is amenable to automate promoter and gene screens in soybean that could be used to accelerate discoveries relevant for crop improvement. Key features of the system include low-cost, facile protoplast isolation, and transformation for soybean shoot tissue-relevant molecular screening.

    Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis is characterised by acute and chronic inflammation in the CNS. Diet may influence inflammation, and therefore MS outcomes.
    Objective: To determine whether the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII
    Methods: People with a first clinical diagnosis of demyelination were followed over 10 years (n=223). DII and energy-adjusted DII (E-DII
    Results: A higher E-DII score was associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety five years later (e.g., highest vs lowest E-DII quartile, HADS-D score: β=2.23, 95%CI=0.98,3.48, p<0.001; HADS-A score: β=1.90, 95%CI=0.59,3.21, p<0.001). A cumulative E-DII score was associated with depression (p<0.01) and anxiety (p=0.05) at the 10-year review. No associations were seen for fatigue.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that, in people with MS, a more pro-inflammatory diet may long-term adverse impact on depression and anxiety, but not fatigue.

    Abstract Abstract Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire. Ecosystems that historically burned frequently, like pinelands in the southeastern United States, risk changes in their structure and function when the fire regime they require is altered. Although the carbon storage potential in an unburned southeastern U.S. forest would be larger, this scenario is unrealistic due to the likelihood of wildfire. Additionally, fire exclusion can have negative consequences on these forests health, biodiversity, and species endemism. There is a need, specifically for the southeast, to estimate carbon and species dynamics based on the differences between various fire regimes, and particularly the differences between prescribed fire and wildfire. These are important factors to consider given that prescribed fire is a common tool used in the southeast, and wildfires are ever more present. Field data from an experimental Pinus palustris (longleaf pine) forest of southwest Georgia were used to parametrize the forest landscape model LANDIS‐II. The model simulated how carbon and species dynamics differ under a fire exclusion, a prescribed fire, and multiple wildfire scenarios. All scenarios except fire exclusion resulted in net emissions to the atmosphere, but prescribed fire produced the least carbon emissions from fire and maintained the most stable aboveground biomass compared to wildfire scenarios. Removing fire for approximately a century was necessary to obtain an average stand‐level biomass greater than that of prescribed fire and net emissions less than that of prescribed fire. The prescribed fire scenario produced a longleaf pine‐dominated forest, the exclusion scenario converted to predominantly oak species Quercus virginiana (live oak), Q. stellata (post oak), and Q. margaretta (sand post oak), while scenarios with intermediate ...

    Abstract Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage.

The prescribed fire scenario produced a longleaf pine‐dominated forest, the exclusion scenario converted to predominantly oak species Quercus virginiana (live oak), Q. stellata (post oak), and Q. margaretta (sand post oak), while scenarios with intermediate wildfire regimes supported a mix of other fire‐facilitator hardwoods and pine species, such as Q. incana (bluejack oak) and Pinus elliotti (slash pine). Overall, this study supports prescribed fire regimes in southeastern U.S. pinelands to both minimize carbon emissions and preserve native biodiversity.
